Answer 2 for NRS 450 Explain the role of communication technology in enhancing clinical information flows

by Posted on

The role of communication, is instrumental in not only developing positive relationships with patients, but it also empowers the patient with a sense of governance over how their care is being managed. (Moorehead, 2022) In terms of communication technology, for example, online portals are a tool used to, “Provide opportunities for interdisciplinary working, peer and family support, and remote communication between health professionals and patients.” (Moorehead, 2022) Continuing, this absolutely overlaps into the acute care setting; as we are using these practical applications more and more frequently as today’s society begins to fully embrace the digital era. (NOTOMORRO, 2024) Adding, three contemporary communication technologies that are commonly used are: 1. Electronic Health Records (EHR); 2. Patient portals; 3. Telemedicine and Telehealth (NOTOMORRO, 2024) Carrying on, with the emergence of Artificial Intelligence (AI) apps and software, clinicians/patients/organizations are able to enhance their ability to provide better care and improve the flow of interprofessional communication. (Caroprese et al., 2022) In retrospect, the use of AI and machine learning augments the learning of contemporary communication technologies. For example, AI and machine learning (ML), allows for improvements in areas such as making accurate complex decisions as well as performing functional operations such as managing the flow of information through interface network systems. (Soori et al., 2023)
